Engaged scholarship combines the familiar traditions of teaching, research, and service in equitable partnerships with communities external to the campus. These partnerships have a goal of creating sustained, positive change in both the community and the academy. Engaged scholarship is reciprocal and is conducted in an atmosphere of mutual respect for, and understanding of, both partners’ strengths, weaknesses and needs. The ideal engaged scholarship initiative involves faculty and students in partnership with a community entity or entities.
Submissions are encouraged that include, but are not limited to innovative designs, partnerships, community/institutional impact, curriculum development/assessment, service-learning, and civic engagement.

The poster session will take place from 10:00–11:30 a.m. Friday, April 14, 2017. Presenters are asked to set up their posters approximately 30 minutes prior to the session. Presenters are invited to register for the CCBP Awards Luncheon, which starts at 11:30 a.m.
Poster Dimensions
Poster dimensions of 36” by 48” are recommended. However, attempts will be made to accommodate other sizes if needed. Posters will be displayed on tabletops.
